Hi debasish_5849,
I did as you said, I untarred the package in /usr/lib, then I changed the instances of firefox-1.0.4 in /usr/bin/firefox. I renamed the old firefox folder from /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4 to /usr/lib/xxxfirefox-1.0.4. But now, when I try to run firefox from the command line or the icon, it just hangs for about 20 seconds and doesn't run. Can you look at my /usr/bin/firefox file to see if I'm missing anything?
